### Creating your attestation key pair
Since we are generating keys, it's important to use a good entropy source.
You can use the True RNG on your Solo device to generate some good random numbers.

# Solo Extras
## Random number generation
Solo contains a True Random Number Generator (TRNG). A TRNG is a hardware based mechanism
that leverages natural phenomenon to generate random numbers, which is often better than a traditional
RNG that has state and updates deterministically using cryptographic methods.
You can easily access the TRNG stream on Solo using our python tool [solo-python](https://github.com/solokeys/solo-python).
```
solo key rng raw > random.bin
```
Or you can seed the state of the RNG on your kernel (/dev/random).
```
solo key rng feedkernel
```
